Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for connecting a window pane, especially an automotive windshield for a rear window provided with electrical conductors to an electric cable making an electrical connection between the cable and the conductors on the window pane.
  • the glass panes especially the window panes of automotive vehicles, and particularly safety glass panes which may have a composite or sandwich construction and may consist of two glass sheets joined together, with electrical conductors for a variety of purposes.
  • the conductors may be strips imprinted on one or another of the glass sheets or embedded in the composite structure, wires embedded in the glass or between the glass sheets, or the like.
  • the conductors can be used for the heating of the window pane, e.g. for deicing, defrosting or removal of moisture.
  • the conductors may form an antenna operating at radio frequencies.
  • solder element may be provided along the edge of the conductor pattern on the glass pane and can have lugs onto which the lugs of an electrical cable can be plugged.
  • the term "cable” is here used especially to refer to an insulated conductor for the low-current electrical system of a vehicle or for a radio connection or the like.
  • the solder pad is constituted as a bridge-like sheet metal element which can be composed of a copper alloy or of a similar material and only the feet of the bridge are soldered to the conductor array on the pane.
  • a system of this type is disclosed, for example, in German patent 13 00 039.
  • a bridge span or stirrup which constitutes an elastic or elastically deformable or plastically deformable compensating element capable of yielding with changes in the dimensions of the glass pane and the system to which the glass pane is connected as a result of thermal contraction and expansion.
  • a connecting lug is formed on the bridge piece and can constitute a plug lug of the type onto which a spade lug can be fitted.
  • the stresses which are capable of rupturing the solder junction can also arise during operation as a result of dynamic stresses which are not uncommon in automotive vehicles.
  • the principal object of the present invention to provide an assembly for the aforedescribed purposes, namely, the connection of the conductor array of a window pane to an electrical cable, whereby the aforedescribed drawbacks are avoided.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide an improved connecting assembly which avoids the problem of uncontrolled solder junction rupture and whereby the electrical connection can withstand highly sudden mechanical stresses as well as the varying thermal expansion and contraction movements which may occur between the glass pane and the parts connected therewith.
  • the other end of the braid body is provided with a lug which can be connected to the cable as a plug-type lug or in some other manner.
  • braid is used here in the sense that is common in electrical technology for braided conductors.
  • soldered portions of the braided member are, of course, flexible and the braid body extending between the soldered arms of the T and the lug is likewise of a highly flexible nature capable of withstanding the thermal expansion and contraction phenomena to which the connection may be subject as well as mechanical stresses which are slow acting or sudden.
  • connection of the lug with the braid body can be effected in any conventional way, e.g. by soldering.
  • ends of the surfaces to be soldered may be, "tinned” or provided with solder layers before the parts are soldered together to facilitate soldering.
  • German patent 11 34 802 glass panes provided with electrical resistance wires may be connected with the current supply line by a bendable braid structure having braided arms in a star pattern.
  • German patent 19 23 311 describes similar glass panes with conductors utilizing metal braid. However, in neither of these latter cases is a system described which is applicable to the problems arising with the system of German patent document 13 00 039.
  • the braided feet have a length of about 8 mm and a width, for the solder junction as measured transversely or orthogonal thereto, of about 4 mm or less.
  • the braid body can be a one-piece braid structure extending from the lug to the feet and divided only at the feet. It is also possible in accordance with the invention to provide the braid body in two parallel braid segments from each of which one the of the braided feet is bent at a right angle.
  • the braid body should have a length between feet and the lug of 10 to 100 mm.
  • the braid segment may also be provided, if desired, with an insulated sheath.
  • FIG. 1 is a plan view of the connecting device of the invention in accordance with one embodiment thereof;
  • FIG. 2 is a similar view of a second embodiment
  • FIG. 3 is a cross sectional view through the braid body showing the application of an insulating sheath thereto;
  • FIG. 4 is a diagrammatic cross sectional view illustrating principles of the invention.
  • FIG. 5 is an elevational view of a window pane provided with a conductor assembly with which the connecting assembly of the invention may be used;
  • FIG. 6 is a cross section through the connecting lug of the invention.
  • FIG. 1 shows a glass pane 1 which can be provided with an array of conductors as is conventional in the art and can be a windshield or rear window, for example, of an automotive vehicle onto which the electrical conductors have been printed for use in defrosting, as an antenna or both.
  • a so-called solder window 2 is provided on the glass pane and the connection is made to the conductive array 10 to this window by a solder connecting element generally designated at 3 and a plug-type lug 4.
  • the lug 4 can be connected to a cable as represented diagrammatically at 11.
  • Member 3 is intended to be soldered to the conductor array along an edge of the glass pane and the portion of this array visible in FIGS. 1 and 2 has been shown at 10.
  • the lug 4 can be plugged onto a cable shoe of conventional design. If desired, the lug 4 can be replaced by an eye.
  • Member 3 is formed with two braided feet 5 which are bent at right angles from a central braid body 6 in the configuration of arms of a T.
  • the lug 4 is soldered onto the opposite end of the braid body 6.
  • the arms T have lengths L of about 10 mm.
  • Solder (not seen in FIGS. 1 and 2) is applied over a length as represented by the arrow 7 at the ends of the arms of 4 mm or less.
  • the solder regions thus encompass the ends of the feet 5.
  • the ends of the feet 5 may be previously "tinned" with solder so that during the soldering operation, solder does not flow to the bends 5' or into the central region or body 6 so that the body remains fully flexible and does not provide a rigid bridge.
  • the braid body 6 is a one-piece structure. Only in the region of the feet 5 is this body defined.
  • the body 6' comprises two braid elements 6" which extend parallel to one another and are formed with the respective braid feet 5'.
  • the braid body 6 is shown to be surrounded by an electrically insulating sheath 12 which does not interfere with the flexibility of this member and can extend over all or part of the length of the body between the lug and the region at which the arms 5 are bent at right angles thereto.
  • the solder window 2 is shown to be provided .
  • a glass sheet 1a of the pane 1 forms a composite with a second pane 1b, a synthetic resin film 1c being interposed between the panes.
  • the conductors are printed on an inner surface of the pane 1b as shown at 13 and branch from a conductive strip 14 to which the foot 5 of a braid body 6 is soldered.
  • the solder penetrates the braid and is visible in FIG. 4 only as a film of solder 15 overlying the soldered region.
  • pane 1 has been shown in greater detail and the conductive strip 14 and the branches 13 are also visible. Note that the solder regions 15 encompass only the very ends of the braided feet 5.
  • FIG. 6 there is shown a solder junction 16 between the braid body 6 and the lug 4. Any other lug connection suitable for use with braided conductors may be employed as well.
  • the sheath 12 When the sheath 12 is employed, it may be a heat-shrink tube which can surround both of the elements 6" in the embodiment of FIG. 2.
  • the elements 6" may also be soldered to one another along their lengths, e.g. by points of solder.
  • the length S of the braided body may be 10 to 100 mm.
